Openworked

Openworked Watches – Mechanical Art in Full View

Openworked watches—also known as skeleton watches—celebrate the beauty of horology by revealing the inner workings of the movement through intricately skeletonized architecture. Every bridge, gear, and jewel is on display, offering collectors a front-row seat to the precision, craftsmanship, and complexity that typically remains hidden beneath the dial.

At Wrist Aficionado, we curate a world-class selection of openworked timepieces from leading luxury brands like Audemars Piguet, Richard Mille, and more, showcasing both classic elegance and avant-garde engineering.
